In this tutorial I'm going to show you how to create this I cord now I've used it for
the stem of this crochet pumpkin but you can use it for many other projects like bags home
decor and garments so stay tuned and I shall show you how to create the I chord so you want
to begin by creating your slipknot and you can do this in whichever method you prefer go ahead
and insert your crochet hook I'm going to start off by chaining 3 yarn over pull through yarn
over pull through and yarn over pull through so we have three loops on the hook and we're going
to insert some stitches into the second and the third chain so we skip this loop on the hook we
skip the first chain and we're going to insert our hook into this second chain pull on your tension a
little bit because we don't want this chain on here to go too loose grab the yarn and pull it
through you'll now have two loops on the hook and then insert your hook into that third chain grab
the yarn and pull it through you have three loops on the hook now here's where it gets a little bit
scary and a little bit tricky but just take your time with it what you want to do is you want to
go ahead and remove two loops off the hook and then you're going to just kind of hold onto them
and here for the moment so you don't lose them we want to grab the yarn pull that nice and tightly
and pull it through that loop that first loop on the hook then what we're going to do is reinsert
that second loop onto the hook grab the yarn and pull it through one loop and then reinsert into
the third chain and then grab the yarn and pull it through that loop and then we're going to repeat
that again so take these loops off the hook grab them so you don't lose them and then grab the yarn
and pull through that loop on the hook put that second loop back on the hook grab the yarn and
pull through that loop and then put that third loop back on the hook and grab the yarn and pull
through and were simply going to repeat this over and over again so taking those loops off pinching
them so that you're not losing them grab the yarn and pull through put that second loop back on the
hook remember it can be a little bit tricky so just take your time yarn over and pull through
that loop and then put the third loop back on the hook and yarn over and pull through that loop now
for this particular project that I've done that is all I have done in terms of the stem I'm going
to add a few more rows so that you can see what it looks like when it's a little bit longer but then
what I shall do is show you how to finish this off okay so I've added a few more rows to this
cord and you can see that it is looking really really nice notice as well with this particular
cord you get a little bit more stretch so if you were using this for a piping on a cushion for
example you can get a little bit more movement to it as opposed to the other cord which I have
done a tutorial for I'll leave a link in the description box below it's a little bit more
robust so it's good for handles and different things like that so this is how you're going to
finish off your cord you're simply going to yarn over and pull through all of those loops on the
hook and then you can chain one and snip off the end and then sew the end into the centre of the
cord so I really hope you've enjoyed this tutorial don't forget to go back to the pumpkin tutorial
